Prospect went cold
My prospect went cold after [WHAT HAPPENED: A DEMO / A PROPOSAL / INITIAL INTEREST]. Write a re-engagement email that acknowledges the silence and gives them a reason to respond.
Build touch email sequence
Build a 7-touch email sequence for [PRODUCT/OFFER]. Map each email: what angle it takes, what value it adds, and how it advances toward a booked call.
Responses and Objection Handling
Claude drafts responses to common sales objections and challenging reply scenarios.
Prospect replied: "."
A prospect replied: "[PASTE REPLY, E.G., NOT A PRIORITY RIGHT NOW / WE USE A COMPETITOR / SEND ME MORE INFO]." Write a response that keeps the conversation alive without being pushy.
Prospect is interested
A prospect is interested but says the price is too high. Write a response that defends the value without discounting immediately. Make the ROI case clearly.
Write response
Write a response to a prospect who asked me to "send more information." Turn this into a reason to schedule a call rather than just sending a wall of text.
